Office of Auditor General,
CITIBANK,
364 Kensington High St
London W14
8NS
Dear Friend,
I am Dr. Robin Quest the Auditor General of CITIBANK 364 Kensington High St
London W14 8NS. I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for
you.
On May 20, 1999, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the BRITISH
PETROLUEM CORPORATION Mr. Dara Baraz Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit)
for 24 calendar months,valued at US$32,200,000.00 (Thirty two Million two
hundred thousand dollars only) in this bank.
Upon maturity in 2001, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding
address but got no reply.After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his contract employers, the British petroleum corporation
that Mr.Dara Baraz died as a result of torture in the hand of Sadam Hussein
during one of his trips to his country Iraq. On further investigation, I
found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his
next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and
discovered that Mr Dara Baraz did not declare any kin or relations in all
his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$32,200,000.00 has been floating as unclaimed since 1999 in my
bank as all efforts to get his relatives has hit the rocks. Consequently, my
proposal is to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the owner of
the money as the next of kin to the deceased so that the bank will transfer
the money to your designated account.
All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be carefully
worked out. I have secured from the probate registry an order of mandamus to
locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and moreso I am assuring you that
the business is risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest be
for me and for investment purpose as i will leave London by the end of the
year.
The sharing of the funds will be based According to agreement between me and
you. As soon as i receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message in
acceptance of our mutual business proposal, I will furnish you with the
necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any
conflict.If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage
of the trust i have bestowed in you.
PLEASE, APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT DOING BUSINESS OVER THE INTERNET IS
RISK.ENDEAVOR TO SEND YOUR CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER IN YOUR
REPLY TO THIS BUSINESS.
Regards.
Dr.Robin Quest.
